2024 Australian goatmeat production and exports reach record highs, but producers face unsustainable prices.

2024 sees record goatmeat production and exports in Australia, with 750,000 goats processed and 11,777 tonnes produced in Q1. Despite increased production capacity, producers face unsustainable prices, with the average over-the-hook price down to 163c/kg from $9/kg in 2022. Producers consider leaving the industry, and a grading system is suggested to improve quality and domestic consumption.
